Comprehensive Neuropsychological Care Across the Lifespan
Dr. Jennifer Linton Reesman is a board-certified Clinical Neuropsychologist providing comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation and consultation across the lifespan. Her practice emphasizes accessibility, inclusivity, and high-quality clinical care, offering services in both English and American Sign Language. Dr. Reesman partners closely with individuals and families to promote understanding, empowerment, and informed next steps. She brings expertise in ADHD, autism, learning differences, brain injury, and hearing loss, among other areas, and applies evidence-based assessment and consultation to support individualized care.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect communication, behavior, and social functioning. Dr. Reesman provides thorough evaluations of cognitive, language, and adaptive functioning for both children and adults. Her assessments aim to clarify diagnoses, identify strengths and areas of need, and guide tailored recommendations for educational, social, and therapeutic supports. Families receive practical guidance to foster development, independence, and connection, with a focus on strengths and empowerment throughout the process.
Learning Disabilities
Learning disabilities are specific disorders that can impact reading, writing, or mathematics. Assessments explore an individual’s learning profile to guide academic planning, accommodations, and intervention strategies. Dr. Reesman evaluates both cognitive and educational functioning to clarify areas of strength and need, supporting both diagnostic clarification and educational decision-making. Recommendations are individualized, practical, and designed to empower learners and families to achieve their goals.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD is a condition affecting attention, impulse control, and executive functioning. Dr. Reesman offers comprehensive assessments across the lifespan, examining attention, working memory, and executive skills. Evaluations are designed to clarify diagnosis, identify individual strengths and challenges, and inform targeted interventions and supports. She works closely with families to develop strategies for school, work, and daily life that promote success, self-understanding, and growth.
Stroke
Stroke is a neurological event caused by interrupted blood flow to the brain, which can result in cognitive and functional challenges. Dr. Reesman provides comprehensive evaluations to assess the impact on memory, attention, language, and daily functioning. Assessments inform rehabilitation planning, track recovery over time, and provide guidance for ongoing support and intervention, helping individuals maximize independence and quality of life.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force impacts the brain, potentially causing lasting cognitive, emotional, and functional changes. Dr. Reesman evaluates both the immediate and long-term effects of injury across the lifespan. Assessments are tailored to provide a clear understanding of cognitive and behavioral changes, guide recovery planning, and support informed decision-making for individuals, families, and treatment teams.
Mild Traumatic Brain Injury / Concussion
Mild TBI or concussion typically resolve, and an evaluation may be helpful if symptoms persist. Dr. Reesman conducts detailed evaluations to track recovery, identify areas needing support, and guide interventions. These assessments address injuries from sports, accidents, or other causes, helping families and clinicians understand recovery trajectories and implement strategies to support optimal outcomes.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy involves recurrent seizures that can affect cognition, learning, and daily functioning. Dr. Reesman evaluates memory, attention, and overall cognitive functioning to support effective medication management, classroom planning, and treatment decisions. Evaluations are designed to clarify how seizures and medications affect learning and day-to-day activities, helping families and clinicians make informed decisions to optimize outcomes.
Developmental Delay
Developmental delays may involve slower progress in cognitive, language, or adaptive skills in young children. Dr. Reesman evaluates children primarily between 12 months and 4 years to identify areas of need and guide early interventions. Assessments provide a detailed developmental profile, helping families understand strengths, challenges, and strategies for fostering growth and skill development during critical early years.
Hearing Loss and Deafness
Hearing differences can affect language acquisition, cognitive development, and social communication. Dr. Reesman conducts evaluations using accessible methods, including American Sign Language, to ensure accurate assessment and meaningful recommendations. Her work with Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals focuses on understanding each person’s unique profile, supporting educational planning, and empowering families to advocate for communication, learning, and developmental success.
